Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

  • The Department of Agriculture: a Historical Note
    The Department of Agriculture: A Historical Note The U.S. Department of Agriculture was established on May 15, 1862, by a law signed by President Abraham Lincoln. The new Department was "to acquire and to diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjects connected with agriculture in the most general and comprehensive sense of the word." In carrying out his duties, the Commissioner was authorized to conduct experiments, collect statistics, and to collect, test, and distribute new seeds and plants. This law, very broad in scope, has remained the basic authority for the Department to the present time. Proposals for an agricultural branch of the national government had been made as early as 1776. George Washington recommended the establishment of such an agency in 1796. The Secretary of the Treasury gave the idea support in 1819 by asking consuls and naval officers abroad to send home seeds and improved breeds of domestic animals. In 1836, Henry L. Ellsworth, Commissioner of Patents, on his own initiative undertook to distribute seeds obtained from abroad to enterprising farmers. Three years later Congress appropriated $1,000 of Patent Office fees for collecting agricultural statistics, conducting agricultural investigations, and distributing seeds. By 1854, the Agricultural Division of the Patent Office employed a chemist, a botanist, and an entomologist, and was conducting experiments, During this period many farm editors, agricultural leaders, and officers of the numerous county and state agricultural societies continued to urge that agriculture be represented by a separate agency. The United States Agricultural Society assumed leadership of the movement, and its efforts, combined with the pledges of thé Republican Party in 1860 for agrarian reforms that would encourage family farms, led to the establishment of the Department.

Professor Catherine Rymph Professor Pamela Riney-Kehrberg Professor Carol Anderson Professor Robert M. Collins Professor Beth Barham ………………………….to Stephanie. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and writing of a dissertation, for the most part a solitary endeavor, nonetheless is the result of dedication, guidance, and contributions of many whom deserve acknowledgement. The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library both provided generous research grants to explore their collections. The Department of History at the University of Missouri provided a fellowship, freeing me from teaching duties and allowing me to focus on writing. All of these funds are greatly appreciated. I would like to thank all of the members of my dissertation committee for taking the time to read and engage this work, pushing me in my argument, dissertation structure and writing. Dr. Carol Anderson, on top of being an excellent friend and mentor, showed me how to draw connections between seemingly distant foreign policy actions and domestic issues.
